AfterHow Much Does Cabinet Installation Cost in Jacksonville?
Cabinet installation in Jacksonville, FL typically runs between $4,000 and $13,000 for a standard kitchen in 2026, with most homeowners landing around $7,500 to $8,500. That range covers everything from a basic stock-cabinet swap in a smaller kitchen to a full custom-cabinet install with crown molding, soft-close hardware, and pantry pull-outs. The final number moves based on cabinet grade, kitchen size, and how much prep work your existing walls and floors require.
At Bradford Remodeling Co Jacksonville, we put that price in writing before the first box is opened. No re-quote at the door, no “discovered issues” upcharge routine. You’ll know your number up front, and the 365-Day Done Right Promise backs the finished work for a full year.
Cabinet Installation Cost Breakdown (2026)
Here’s how a typical Jacksonville cabinet installation breaks down by line item. These are real ranges from our jobs across the city, from Ortega to Mandarin to San Marco.
| Line Item | Typical Range (Jacksonville, 2026) |
|---|---|
| Stock cabinets (10×10 kitchen) | $2,500 – $5,000 |
| Semi-custom cabinets (10×10 kitchen) | $5,000 – $9,000 |
| Custom cabinets (10×10 kitchen) | $9,000 – $15,000+ |
| Labor (tear-out, install, trim) | $1,500 – $4,000 |
| Hardware (pulls, hinges, soft-close) | $200 – $1,200 |
| Countertop templating & cutouts | $300 – $1,000 |
| Trim, crown molding, filler pieces | $400 – $1,800 |
| Disposal & site prep | $200 – $600 |
For a full kitchen with semi-custom cabinets, you’re realistically looking at $7,000 to $11,000 including labor. A compact galley kitchen with stock boxes might come in under $5,000. A large custom build with an island can push past $13,000. The largest single variable is cabinet grade, and the second is whether your existing drywall needs repair behind the old boxes. Jacksonville’s humidity is rough on substrate, and we regularly replace water-damaged drywall and furring strips in kitchens from Arlington to Riverside before the new cabinets can go in.
Bradford Remodeling installs KraftMaid and Wellborn cabinetry as our standard, documented lines. Both are manufactured to spec with stamped technical documentation, so you’re not guessing at plywood thickness or hinge durability. Every quote lists the exact cabinet line, box construction, and hardware spec in writing.
What Affects Cabinet Installation Pricing in Jacksonville
Several factors push a Jacksonville cabinet job toward the top or bottom of that $4,000 to $13,000 range. Here’s what we look at when we walk a kitchen.
- Cabinet grade. Stock cabinets run $80 to $150 per linear foot. Semi-custom runs $150 to $400. Full custom starts around $400 and climbs. KraftMaid semi-custom is our most-installed line in Jacksonville for a reason: real plywood boxes, framed construction, and a price that doesn’t runaway.
- Kitchen size and layout. A 10×10 kitchen is the industry baseline. If you’re in a 1970s ranch in Mandarin with a 12×14 kitchen, that’s roughly 30% more lineal footage. Galley kitchens in Riverside bungalows often run smaller but come with plaster walls and uneven floors that need leveling before the base cabinets sit right.
- Existing condition of walls and floors. Jacksonville’s coastal humidity means swollen drywall, rotted toe kicks, and moisture-warped subfloor are common. If we have to replace substrate or level a floor, that’s added labor you can’t see in the finished photo but absolutely must be done right.
- Ceiling height and crown details. Taller uppers, stacked crown, and light rails add material and finish labor. A standard 30-inch upper with a simple scribe molding is the budget option. Floor-to-ceiling cabinetry around a refrigerator or pantry adds real cost but also real storage.
- Soft-close hardware and drawer inserts. Soft-close hinges and undermount slides add $15 to $45 per door or drawer. It’s one of the best-value upgrades we install, but it does move the number. Rollouts, trash pull-outs, and utensil dividers add $100 to $400 per component.
- Tear-out and disposal of old cabinets. Some Jacksonville contractors bury this fee in the quote. Bradford separates it so you see exactly what you’re paying. Standard tear-out runs $300 to $900 depending on cabinet count and whether the old boxes come out clean or need to be cut apart.
How to Save on Cabinet Installation
You don’t have to cut corners to control the budget. Here’s what actually saves money on a Jacksonville cabinet job without costing you down the line.
Keep the existing layout. Moving plumbing, gas lines, or electrical rough-in for a relocated sink or range adds $1,500 to $4,000 in trade work before a single cabinet is hung. If your current workflow works, keeping the same footprint is the single biggest savings lever. We’ll tell you honestly whether a layout change is worth the added cost or not.
Choose semi-custom over full custom. KraftMaid and Wellborn semi-custom lines give you the construction quality (plywood boxes, full-depth shelves, quality finishes) at roughly half the cost of full custom builds. Unless you’re working with an odd architectural condition, semi-custom covers 90% of Jacksonville kitchens.
Skip the crown on low ceilings. Crown molding is beautiful, but under an 8-foot ceiling, stacked crown with light rail adds $800 to $1,500 and visually lowers the room. A clean scribe-to-ceiling line is the more disciplined look.
Upgrade hardware selectively. Put soft-close on the high-use doors and drawers only: the trash pullout, the utensil drawers, the sink base. Standard hinges on upper cabinets with lighter doors save $300 to $600 on a mid-size kitchen.
Schedule during Jacksonville’s slower months. Remodelers get slammed between January and April and again from September through November. Summer months, especially August, tend to flex on scheduling. We don’t change our prices seasonally, but a flexible schedule can open up better material lead times.
Call (904) 337-5929 and we’ll walk your kitchen, tell you which of these savings paths apply, and hand you a written price before we leave. Estimates are free.

FAQs – Cabinet Installation Cost
Is it cheaper to repair or replace kitchen cabinets?
Repairing existing cabinets in Jacksonville runs $1,200 to $4,000 for refacing, hinge replacement, and drawer box repair, while a full replacement runs $4,000 to $13,000. If your cabinet boxes are plywood and structurally sound, refacing makes sense. If the boxes are particleboard and showing water damage, which is common in older Jacksonville homes, replacement is the better long-term move. Call (904) 337-5929 for an honest assessment; we’ll tell you if repair is worth your money.
How much does cabinet refacing cost in Jacksonville?
Cabinet refacing in Jacksonville typically runs $2,500 to $7,000 depending on kitchen size, door style, and whether you’re replacing hinges and hardware at the same time. Refacing keeps the boxes and replaces doors, drawer fronts, and veneers. It’s a solid middle path when the cabinet boxes are sound but the finish is dated. Our estimate is free and written.
How much does it cost to install cabinets in a small kitchen?
A small Jacksonville kitchen (roughly 10×10 or smaller) runs $4,000 to $9,000 for stock or semi-custom cabinets including tear-out, installation, and basic hardware. Galley kitchens in Riverside and San Marco bungalows often land at the low end unless the existing walls need substrate repair from humidity damage. Call (904) 337-5929 and we’ll give you an exact number for your specific footprint.
Can you install cabinets the same week?
Stock cabinets can often be installed within the same week in Jacksonville if the boxes are in local inventory. Semi-custom KraftMaid or Wellborn runs 3 to 6 weeks from order to install. Custom cabinets run 6 to 10 weeks. We’ll give you a firm install date in writing before we order anything, and a live person answers (904) 337-5929 24/7 if you need to check on a schedule.
How much does cabinet hardware installation cost?
Installing new cabinet hardware, meaning pulls and hinges on an existing cabinet set, runs $200 to $600 for a standard Jacksonville kitchen. Soft-close conversion kits add $15 to $45 per door or drawer. Hardware replacement is one of the fastest, lowest-cost updates we do, and it’s covered by the same 365-Day Done Right Promise as a full install.
Do you need a permit to install cabinets in Jacksonville?
Cabinet-only replacement doesn’t require a permit in Jacksonville unless you’re moving plumbing, gas, or electrical rough-in as part of the job. If the scope includes sink relocation or appliance electrical changes, the city requires permits through the Building Inspection Division. Bradford Remodeling handles permit paperwork as part of the written scope whenever it applies, and we never start work until the permit is in hand.
